So as a lot of you know I recently took the jump to Kooks LTs (huge thanks to the hookup from Lethal Performance!) and figured while I was there might as well swap to a flex fuel tune. I live near Sacramento, so it's a no brainer to take the car to Shaun at AED here locally.

I was really hoping to see 526 rwhp by the end (thought it would be cool to keep the factory number but then the curve ball "to the wheel"). My 5.0 picked up about 48rwhp from longtubes, cai, tune On 91 so I didn't think I was asking for TOO much.

Let's just start with: the car is LOUD. At wot, almost too much for me. A lot more rasp at this point also so I may look into resonators or another muffler in the future. Right now I'm just happy to have it back. Here's a few pictures and the last one I'm sure everyone is waiting for :D

If anyone can't see the video head over to my Instagram @swedensky
Hoping to also get a few GoPro videos today if time allows!

The way you wrote makes it seem as though you aren't happy with the results?

It made 525.8 and you wanted 526?

I think that counts.

Nice numbers man.

Would try and reword it but hopefully my reply here will be good enough lol

Lol oh ok. I guess I was reading it in a pessimistic view, I can see it from both sides.

Need a WOT video of the speedo!!! Would you consider an h-pipe to get rid of the rasp?

Funny enough Shaun and I were just discussing that. Yeah I debated putting the resonators back on but I like the idea of the H better.

Why the lopey idle? Should be smooth.

Also would have thought the dips in the curve around 33-3500 would be corrected with headers.

Seen some other graphs that clear that up but it may have been American Racing headers.

I requested a "ghost cam tune" with the lope.

Hey what's up! I thought I had put two and two together and guessed this was your profile but wasn't sure! Let me know when you want to take it for a spin!

Gotcha yea that intake with tune alone has been getting ppl around 20hp

No offense to JLT or anyone running it, just have never been a fan and prefer to wait for another company. Unfortunately I haven't seen anyone run a tune only versus tune+intake to see the difference of the JLT so not worth it right now to me.

Can't wait to see some other bolt ons developed for the car though!

Thanks for the offer brotha.. Probably when I'm back from deployment in Oct.. My car should be done by then as well.

That car has got to fly man.. that's an insane pick up from LT, E85, and a tune.

Great numbers and congratulations! Gotta love having AED local. Was that you I saw driving down Pleasant Grove a couple of weeks ago? I'm by Woodcreek Golf club.
